PRIMARY TEACHERS'

RESOURCI
while also including the cultural input teachers so often request. The Photocopiable I Pages are relerred to by the first 2 letters of the themes plus page number (eg Hones, page 1 - HO/01 and Transport, page I = TR/01).

Aims
Our main aim is to provide primary school teachers with easy-to-prepare materials which can be used as one-off revision activities or as part of a fuller theme-based project. As all primary EFL teachers know, children need to have new language constantly recycled and these Photocopiable Pages provide a fresh way of doing just that. In addition, the preparation of these materials (most of which can be done by the pupils themselves) allows for free and spontaneous language practice.

L a n g u a g e Level
We have not specified a target age or language level for these materials as each activity is designed as a starting point from which Individual teachers can meet their own classroom needs. As well as includag all the basic language structures, we haw also extended the range of language introduced in Resource Book 1 which means there are activities suitable for both beginners and more advanced learners. Our Teacher's Notes suggest one way of usi| the Photocopiable Pages, but these can be easily adapted to suit different age groups and language levels. The notes also often include follow-up ideas for future lessons. Throughout the notes the following symbols have been used to indicate whether activities are for individual work work (DO. or group work OOO.

The Book
This book includes 46 Photocopiable Pages accompanied by Teacher's Notes on facing pages. Where an idea requires two Photocopiable Pages to be used together, the Notes face the first of the two Photocopiable Pages. The ideas contained here have been tried and tested by Primary teachers through jet magazine and have been selected to include a variety of activities, such as games, art and craft, worksheets and songs.

Themes
The Photocopiable Pages in this book are topic-based. The themes for this volume are Homes, Transport and Food, chosen because of their relevance and interest to children.

Language Focus
* vocabulary of different homes * alphabet * spelling

Procedure
1 Give each pupil a copy of HO/01 and ask them to glue this onto thin card. 2 Explain that they are going to make some jigsaw alphabet cards of homes. On the left side they draw and colour a picture of a different home. On the right side they draw the letter this home begins with (e.g. if they draw a castle on the left, they draw the letter C o n the right). They complete the 5 different cards. Go round helping where necessary. 3 They now cut out their 5 alphabet cards and put them in an envelope or plastic bag for safe-keeping. 4 Pupils swap cards and do each other's jigsaws.

Materials
k a copy of HO/01 for each pupil * thin card coloured pencils/crayons * glue and scissors k envelopes/plastic bags

Warm-up
1 Revise the alphabet (e.g. using flashcards or the alphabet song). 2 Either pre-teach or revise the names of different homes using the pictures on HO/02 or magazine pictures. Ask individual pupils to come out and draw a home on the board, then get another pupil to come out and write the name underneath. You could do this as a team game. 3 Point to a name on the board and ask a pupil to spell it, e.g. That's F-L-A-T.

2 Pupil A describes the layout of Bedroom A

(e.g. The bed is next to the bookcase. box is between the window The toy and the train

track) and Pupil B tries to draw a plan of it. Encourage Pupil B to ask questions like
Where is die bookcase? Can you repeat that?

You may need to pre-teach the items of furniture or practise the use of prepositions first. 3 When they have finished, get pupils to swap roles - Pupil B describes Bedroom B while Pupil A draws a room plan. 4 Pupils compare their two plans of Bedrooms A and B.

Warm-up
1
Give a copy of the worksheet on HO/05 to each pupil. 2 Ask them to name the different rooms, then brainstorm the names of things you would usually find in these rooms. 3 Ask them to label the items in the picture,
e.g. sofa, bed.

Procedure
1 Working individually, pupils draw each of the objects at the bottom of the page in one of the rooms. (Alternatively, they could cut out the objects and glue them on.) Tell them that the objects shouldn't be in their usual location (e.g. the cup shouldn't be in the kitchen). In pairs, pupils try to guess where their partner's objects are by asking questions
such as Is the book in the kitchen? Is it in the bath? Is it under the bed? If they use more

than 10 questions they give up and ask Where's the book? You can make this more competitive by getting pupils to count the number of questions they have to ask for each object and the one with the least is the winner.

Follow-up
% Pupils could design and draw a house for the ghost or for Mr and Mrs Funnybones. Display these on the classroom walls. 2 If you do this activity near the end of October you could link it to cultural work on Hallowe'en. (In Britain/USA this festival is celebrated by children dressing up as ghosts, skeletons, witches, etc, and going round houses 'trick or treat'-ing).

Materials

Procedure
1 Give each pupil a copy of HO/06. 2 Tell pupils that they are going to hear a story about a ghost and that they have to write the name of the room the ghost is in. Read the following story or pre-record it onto a cassette and play the tape. Mr and Mrs Funnybones have got a ghost in their house. Can you find it? G o in the front door. Turn left open the door and g o in. It isn't there. G o into the hall. Walk across the hall and g o into the bedroom. It isn't there. G o into the hall again.

Pupils draw a line between the child and the items which identify his/her home. 3 Read the text as often as pupils want. 4. Pupils then write the child's name under their house and draw in the identifying features (e.g. house no. 3 has the big window). 5 Let pupils compare their answers, then go over them in class.

In our street there are four houses. Jack's house has got a big chimney. It is next to Anna's house. Her house hasn't got a round window, it's got one large window. The cat also lives next to Anna's house. It lives in the house with the garage. This is Sam's house. It is number 4. The house with the round window is not Molly's. Her house has got a large gate. She lives next to Jack and she's got a dog. Anna's house has got two trees and it is between Jack's and Sam's houses.

Procedure
1 Give out a copy of the worksheet on HO/09 to each pupil. 2 Ask pupils to draw a line for Ben's shortest and longest walks home from school using different colours. 3 Pupils compare their answers in pairs, then go through the correct answers with the class. Answers Shortest walk = along Green Street, then straight up Main Street. Longest walk = along Green Street up Church Street and along Station Road. 4. You can extend this to further practise superlatives by asking pupils to draw a green line to show Ben's most interesting walk home, draw a black line to show his most boring walk home, etc. 5 To further practise comparatives, copy the map onto the board and draw in various routes from the swimming pool to Ben's home in different colours. Then pupils can work in pairs to make up sentences like The
blue route is shorter red route is quicker than the red route. The than the green route.

2 Finally, the map can be used to do work on directions. In pairs, pupils can take turns describing a route that Ben takes from his
home (e.g. First walk along take the second King's Road, Green Street, across turn on the left, walk

Ask them to cut out the instruction cards (e.g. You find treasure in . . . ) and the position cards (e.g. Al) and to place them face down on the table in two piles (you may prefer to prepare the cards beforehand yourself). Tell them they are now going to find out what is on their island.

This activity has been split into 2 parts, both intended for group work. The first is much simpler and can be done with low level groups; the second involves more group discussion and can be done as a follow-up to part 1 or with classes at a higher level.

2 Still in their groups, pupils take turns picking up an instruction and a position card and reading this to the group
(e.g. There's a palm tree in BZ).

Warm-up
1 To introduce this activity, read the following story to the class. You are on a boat going to Australia. You are in the middle of the ocean. Suddenly there are big. black clouds in the sky. it starts to rain. It is very, very windy. The waves rock your boat and water comes into it. Suddenly, you see an island. You jump out of the boat and swim to this island.

3 The pupil on their right draws the item in the correct square on the map and then picks 2 cards. They read these out and the pupil on their right draws the item. 4 Continue like this until the cards are finished and all 10 items have been drawn on the map. 5 Put 2 groups together and get them to ask each other where the things are on their map.

2 Ask them to suggest the kind of things they might find on their new island home.

IN THE O D R L I O T BELOW. INDEED, THESE R E AD U ACTIVITIES CAN BE CHOSEN TO REVISE P R I U A A TC L R LANGUAGE AND S R C U E AT ANY POINT IN THE T UT RS TERM.

Language Focus
* transport vocabulary

Materials
* a copy of TR/01 and TR/02 for each pupil * card * glue * scissors * crayons or coloured pencils

2 Snap: The picture and word cards are placed in 2 piles face down and side-by-side (each pair can mix their sets together). Pupil 1 turns over a card from each pile. If they match, the first pupil to shout the name of the item of transport, e.g. helicopter, wins the cards. If they don't match, Pupil 2 turns over 2 cards on top of the first 2, and so on. The winner is the player with most cards at the end. 3 MEMORY: Each pair mixes their set of picture cards and lays them out face down on the table. Pupil 1 turns over 2 cards saying a train and a bike. If they are the same, he/she keeps the cards and has another turn. If not, the 2 cards are turned face down again and Pupil 2 has a turn. The winner is the player with the most cards at the end. You can also play this using the word cards instead.

Preparation
1 Pupils glue their copies of TR/01 and TR/02 onto card and then colour in their picture cards. You can make this into a colour dictation by giving them instructions,
e.g. Colour the train blue.

2 They now cut out the cards and separate them into 2 sets: word cards and picture cards.

Follow-up
Brainstorm the names of other means of transport (eg. see list below) and write them on the board. Pupils can now make other cards to add to their sets. MORE transport names hot-air balloon caravan tram tractor truck coach pram minibus space ship yacht police car motor bike submarine boat hovercraft

Procedure
Pupils can now play various card games in pairs: 1 MATCHING: Pupil l holds up a word card and pupil 2 holds up the corresponding picture card. Award points for each correct match. Pupil 1 continues until all the word cards have been used. Then they swap roles with Pupil 2 now holding up the word cards and Pupil 1 trying to match it with a picture card. The winner is the player with the most correct points.

Procedure
\ Give each pupil a copy of TR/08 and make sure they each have a pen/pencil. 2 If possible, take pupils outside where they can view traffic from a safe position. 3 Give them a set time limit, e.g. 10 minutes (this will depend on how busy the traffic is) and ask them to put a tick under the picture of the vehicles each time they see one pass. Encourage them to say I see a lorry, etc., perhaps by making it into a game with the first pupil to spot a new vehicle getting a point. 4 Alternatively, if it is not possible to view traffic from outside your school, ask pupils to take their worksheets home with them and complete them by looking out their bedroom window, etc.

2 Put pupils into pairs to compare their totals, then ask for feedback, e.g. J saw five vans but (partner's name) saw seven. 3 Finally, ask the class which vehicles were the most common and if they saw any other items of transport which were not included on their worksheet.

(While they are doing this give the other groups an activity to do, e.g. they could play with the Transport Cards from TR/01 and TR/02, or sing The Wheels on the Bus song again). 2 When they are ready, ask the winning group to take turns to read out their colouring instructions, a line at a time. 3 When they have finished, they can check pupils' colouring-in by asking What colour's
the horn?

Preparation
1 Put pupils into groups of 4 and give each group a copy of TR/10 and TR/11. 2 Ask them to cut out the 9 boxes and 4 wheels on TR/11. 3 Meanwhile, write up the following key on the board: 1 = 2= 3 = 4 = 5 = 6 = driver wheel horn child wipers people

4 Display the finished buses on the classroom walls if possible.

Procedure
1 In their groups, pupils take turns to throw the dice and try to complete their bus, e.g. if a pupil throws a / he/she sticks the picture of the driver in the correct space, if they throw a 2 they stick a wheel in place. If a pupil throws a number which has already been done (e.g. if a second pupil throws a / ) , they miss that turn. Note that they have to get 4 wheels, and that the windows can be filled by children or people.

Follow-up
1 This can lead to a discussion of Transport in the future'. Ask pupils if they think there will still be cars/buses/trains/bikes, etc. What will these look like? Will they have wheels/engines/windows? What fuel will they use?

Preparation
1 Put pupils into groups of 4-5. 2 Give each group a copy of TR/15 and ask them to cut the four spinners out. 3 They now make a small hole in the centre of the spinner and push their cocktail stick through so that about two thirds of it is below and one third above the writing. 4 Get them to practise spinning their spinners.

Procedure
1 Still in their groups, the first pupil spins the 'parts' spinner and writes down the part they get, e.g. wheel, they then spin each of the other 3 spinners and write what they get from these, e.g. green, two and square.

2 The other pupils in the groups each do the same. They now have a list of the items in their 'super-vehicle', e.g. pupil 1 has two square, green wheels.

Choose a counter and place it on a corner square. Shuffle the cards and place them face down next to the board. Throw the dice each. The player with the highest number goes first. Take it in turns to throw the dice and move around the board (counting out the number in English as you do so). When you land on a square you name the item and its colour, e.g. It's a red knife. If you are correct you pick up a card. If the card is a balloon card, you keep it and place it in front of you. If it is a pin card you can use it to 'burst' one of the other player's balloons (i.e. they have to return their balloon card to the pile) then you return the pin card. If none of the other players has a balloon card, you must return one of your own to the pile. If you name the item on the square incorrectly, you do not pick up a card. The winner is the first player to collect 10 or more balloons and reach the party table at the centre of the board.

3 Ask pupils to make a set of 18 cards (5 with 1 balloon, 4 with 2 balloons, 4 with 3 balloons, 5 with a pin).

Procedure
1 Pupils play the game following the rules opposite.

Variations
This game can be played again later in this theme to practise other structures, e.g. when pupils land on a square they could say what meal they eat or use this thing for; they could say if they like/don't like a food; what a food tastes like; if it is good/bad for you, etc.

carrots. As they do this, keep a record on the board (e.g. draw each vegetable and put a tick next to it each time it is mentioned). You can then let the class decide which is the most and least popular vegetable. 2 Fruit and vegetable printing: Bring some fruit and vegetables to class (e.g. apples, oranges, carrots, courgettes). Pupils cut them in half and paint over the open section. They then press this onto paper to make a pattern. Let them use different fruit and vegetables to make up pictures, then in pairs they can show each other their picture and ask questions about it. Finally, ask pupils to see if the pattern is different if the food is cut another way.

2 Pupils circulate round the class, asking each of their 4 chosen pupils questions like Do you like apples? If a pupil answers yes, the questioner ticks the chart; if the answer is no they put a cross in the chart. When they have finished, they write the total number of ticks in the right hand column of their chart. 3 Pupils work in their groups again to write final totals in the boxes below the charts i.e. they add their totals together for apples, then for bananas, etc. 4 Get class feedback on their.results. What is the most popular fruit? Which one do they like least?

money/costs + courses in a meal 3 If they pick up the Tummy Ache card they show it to the others, lose 2 points and then put it at the bottom of the pile. If they pick up the Full Tummy card they show it to the others, gain 2 points and then return it to the bottom of the pile. 4 The round ends when a pupil collects a complete meal of one drink, a main course, a vegetable and a pudding. This pupil scores 2 points plus a further 4 points if the meal costs less than S3. 5 Pupils play another few rounds (or give them a time limit) then they count up the points to see who is the winner.

Materials
-* a copy of FO/09 and FO/10 for each group card scissors glue crayons/coloured pencils

Preparation
1 Put pupils into groups of three and give them a copy of the playing cards on FO/09 and FO/IO.

2 They stick these onto card before cutting them out. 3 They can then colour the cards in if they wish. 4 Ask them to sort the cards into 4 piles: drinks, main courses, vegetables and puddings. Then check the answers.

Procedure
1 Still in groups, one player shuffles the cards, deals out four to each player and places the rest in a pile face down on the table.

2 Pupils take it in turns to pick up a card from the pile, look at it and decide whether to keep it or put it at the bottom of the pile. If they keep it they must discard a different card from their hand. Players must only have four cards at a time.

Language Focus
* * k * * food vocabulary days of the week numbers past tense story-telling GREEDY GEORGE George was very greedy. On Sunday his grandma gave him some money. On Monday he bought one bar of chocolate and ate it all up. On Tuesday he ate two lollipops and ate them all up. On Wednesday he bought three ice creams and ate them all up. On Thursday he bought for cakes and ate them all up. On Friday he bought five biscuits and ate them all up. On Saturday he bought one sandwich, one sausage, one pizza, one apple pie and one melon. He ate them all up and then he had a tummy ache! On Sunday his grandma gave him some money. He put it in his piggy bank!

Materials
* a copy of FO/11 and FO/12 for each pupil * paper and crayons/coloured pencils

Procedure
1 Give each pupil a copy of FO/11. Divide them into two teams and play a quick game to revise vocabulary, shout out a letter (e.g. A), the first pupil to shout out the corresponding food wins their team a point. If they are incorrect the other team gets a turn. 2 Tell them they are going to hear a story about a greedy boy called George and they have to tick the food on FO/11 that he eats. 3 Read the story opposite, then check the answers. 4 Tell them you are going to read it again, but this time they have to number the foods in the order that he eats them e.g. chocolate = 1, lollipops = 2. Read the story as often as necessary before checking the answers. 5 Read the story again but change some
words e.g. On Tuesday he bought six

Follow-up
1 Put pupils into pairs and give each a copy of FO/12. 2 They now write their own version of the story by filling in a child's name plus days, numbers, prepositions and foods (these don't have to be in the same order as in the original story). 3 When they have finished, ask them to draw pictures to illustrate their story. Then each pair goes to the front of the class, reads their story while they hold up their drawings.

lollipops. Pupils shout Stop! when they hear a mistake and then tell you the correct word, e.g. two. 6 Finally, ask some simple comprehension
questions, e.g. What did he eat on Tuesday?

Materials
* a copy of FO/13 for each pupil

Procedure
1 Give each pupil a copy of the worksheet on FO/13. 2 Explain that they will hear some information about the Big Shake Company and that they have to record the points each child gave in the chart. They don't have to understand every word. They should then fill in the totals for each flavour. 3 Read the text below (or pre-record it onto a cassette), as often as necessary.

Follow-up
If you have suitable facilities, you or your pupils could bring in the necessary ingredients for making milkshakes i.e. milk, ice cream and flavourings (banana, chocolate powder, etc). You could then make the four different types and conduct your own class survey to see which is their favourite flavour. Pupils could then follow this up by writing out recipes for making their favourite milk shake.

The Big Shake Company has made some new flavours of milkshake. The flavours are strawberry, chocolate, banana and orange. Five children tasted the milkshakes and gave each flavour points out of 5. Alan gave 3 points for strawberry, (pause) 3 points for chocolate, (pause) 2 points for banana, (pause) and 4 points for orange, (pause) Megan gave no points for strawberry, (pause) 5 points for chocolate, (pause) 2 points for banana, (pause) and 4 points for orange, (pause) Paul gave 5 points for strawberry, (pause) no points for chocolate, (pause) 4 points for banana, (pause) and 1 point for orange, (pause) Lisa gave 3 points for strawberry, (pause) 2 points for chocolate, (pause) (pause) and 5 points for orange, (pause) Josh gave 3 points for strawberry, (pause) 2 points for chocolate, (pause) banana, (pause) and 1 point for orange, (pause) 1 point for banana.

* * * adjectives colours/shapes tastes

Follow-up
1 Bring in a few different tasting foods. Chop these up onto plates, place these on a table and cover them with cloths.

Materials
k a copy of FO/14 for each pupil

2 Pre-teach some necessary adjectives to d o

with taste, e.g. sour, sweet, bitter, fresh.

Preparation
1 Put pupils into groups of about four. 2 Ask them to decide on a fruit or vegetable which they should bring in to the next class i.e. so that each group has 4 different items of food to examine.

3 Pupils work in pairs: first one pupil is blindfolded, tastes each of the food items, guesses what they are, and their partner writes down the guess. They then change roles. 4 Tell pupils what food is on each plate and see how many got them all right.

Procedure
1 Pupils get into their groups again. 2 Give out copies of FO/14 and go over the chart. Explain what each section means and ask for some suggested answers,
e.g. What's inside? seed nothing. = seeds, pips, a large

3 Pupils work together to complete the chart for their own food items. Go round the class helping where necessary. 4 Groups now work together to compare and ask questions about their charts.
